WILLIAM CHURCHILL OASTLER 


When William Churchill Oastler died last March at the ripe 
age of eighty-four, he had devoted many years to the collecting 
of Chinese porcelains. He was a native of Birmingham, England. 
After he came to this country he was associated, as an advisory 
engineer, with important railways. It is said to have been largely 
upon his advice that steel rails were first substituted here for the 
old cast iron variety. 


Frigenp oF Mr. ALTMAN 


But his activities as an engineer did not interfere with his love 
of collecting Chinese porcelains. In the notable loan collection 
of these beautiful objects held some years ago by Messrs. Duveen 
Brothers, the Oastler cabinets were well represented, for Mr. 
Oastler was regarded as a connoisseur of refined taste and sound 
judgment. He was a close friend of the late Benjamin Altman, 
and the two often conferred together and submitted to each 
other’s criticism many of their prospective purchases of Chinese 
porcelains. 

The Oastler collection numbers some 800 items and includes 
beautiful blue and white in soft paste and hard paste porcelains ; 
single color pieces, among which are rare peachbloom, claire-de- 
lune, sang-de-beuf, yellow and celadon. ‘There are also many 
important decorated pieces, including K’ang-hsi, famille verte; 
Yung Chéng, famille rose; and finely embellished Ch’ien-lung 
specimens. Of blanc de Chine there are some unusually fine ex- 
amples. ‘Iwo statues of Buddha, of carved and gilt wood, from 
an old Japanese temple are included. 

The collection is well known. Besides, it is possible to recall 
several of the pieces in the Duveen exhibition. There they figured 
on an equal footing with loans from the cabinets of “Mr. J. 
foe ie. A.B, W.,”’ “Mr. M. J. P.,” “Mr. E. J. B.,” and 
others, besides pieces contributed by Messrs. Duveen Brothers 
themselves, and by this time long since passed into important 
American collections. 


Many of the examples of white Chinese porcelains were loaned 
by “Mr. W. C. 0.” (Mr. Oastler). There were at least eight, 
including the white ovoid vase, with delicate engraved designs in 
cloud forms under the perfect glazing; the tall, white, graceful 
baluster vase, with unique raised decoration under the soft glaz- 
ing, and showing trees, flowers and animals, the latter with short 
horns; and the pair of ovoid shaped rice grain vases with an un- 
usually fine representation of the so-called lace pattern. 


More OastierR PorcELAINS 


In famille verte the Oastler collection should contain notable 
examples. Mr. Oastler had among green pieces a tall globular 
bottle with a long, slender neck and decorated with translucent 
enamel colors of a lovely kind. Green arabesque foliage and red 
blossoms were conspicuous in the decoration of the body. The 
neck was encircled with a palm design and the shoulder carried 
a dragon. Typical colors of the famille verte palette also showed 
on a large oviform vase with trumpet shaped neck, the design a 
composition depicting an episode from a Chinese novel. In this 
episode the hero is pursued by rival leaders, when suddenly a 
great chasm opens before his enemies and stays their pursuit. 

Vigorously rendered flowering peonies and other plants grow- 
ing among rockwork, also a phcenix bird, or Imperial Feng- 
Huang, in brilliant plumage, were conspicuous features in the 
decoration of another large famille verte vase m the Oastler col- 
lection. So-called “gift objects” showed on a large square jar- 
diniére.. Finally, there should be mentioned a tall vase of slender 
biberon shape, with a narrow neck. This is described as a dense 
_ kaolin porcelain, decorated in transparent enamels over the glaze, 
with the design underneath outlined in cobalt blue. There are 
various large conventional blossoms in the arabesque border mo- 
tive. The shoulder shows phenix birds amid decorative foliage. 
Such were some of the chief pieces belonging to Mr. Oastler when 
Messrs. Duveen Brothers held their exhibition, and doubtless all 
or most of them still will be found in the collection when it is 
placed on view in the American Art Galleries—Gusrave Kopst, 
in the New York Herald, January 17, 1915. 


CONDITIONS OF SALE 


1. Any bid which is merely a nominal or fractional advance may 
be rejected by the auctioneer, if, in his judgment, such bid would be 
likely to affect the sale injuriously. 

2, The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute 
arise between two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide 
the same or put up for re-sale the lot so in dispute.

re-sold. 

Payment of that part of the purchase money not made at the 
time of sale shall be made within ten days thereafter, in default of 
which the undersigned may either continue to hold the lots at the 
risk of the purchaser and take such action as may be necessary for 
the enforcement of the sale, or may at public or private sale, and 
without other than this notice, re-sell the lots for the benefit of such 
purchaser, and the deficiency (if any) arising from such re-sale shall 
be a charge against such purchaser. 

4. Delivery of any purchase will be made only upon payment 
of the total amount due for all purchases at the sale. 

Deliveries will be made on sales days between the hours of 9 
A. M. and 1 P. M., and on other days—except hohdays—between the

senting the bill of purchase. 

Delivery may be made, at the discretion of the Association, of 
any purchase during the session of the sale at which it was sold. 

5, Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business in 
which the Association is in no wise engaged, and will not be performed 
by the Association for purchasers. The Association will, however, 
afford to purchasers every facility for employing at current and 
reasonable rates carriers and packers; doing so, however, without any 
assumption of responsibility on its part for the acts and ees of 
the parties engaged for such service. 

6. Storage of any purchase shall be at the sole risk of the pur-

error of cataloguing, or any imperfection not noted. Every lot is 
on public exhibition one or more days prior to its sale, after which 
it is sold ‘‘as is” and without recourse. 

The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot cor- 
rectly, and will give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy 
expert to the effect that any lot has been incorrectly catalogued, and, © 
in its judgment, may either sell the lot as catalogued or make mention 
of the opinion of such expert, who thereby would become responsible’ 
for such damage as might result were his opinion without proper 
foundation.

days from the date of sale, and the purchase money will be returned, if 
the lot in any material manner differs from its catalogue description. 

Orders for execution by the Association should be written and 
given with such plainness as to leave no room for misunderstanding.

should be stated to be so much for the lot, and when the lot consists 
of one or more volumes of books or objects of art, the bid per volume 
or piece should also be stated. If the one transmitting the order is —

mitted. Shipping directions should also be given.
